You can use properties files to create or change uniform
resource locator (URL) provider properties.
Before you begin
Determine the changes that you want to make to your URL
provider configuration or its configuration objects.
Start the
wsadmin scripting tool. To start wsadmin using the Jython language,
run the wsadmin -lang jython command from the bin directory
of the server profile.
About this task
Using a properties file, you can create, modify, or delete
a URL provider object and its configuration properties.
Run
administrative commands using wsadmin to create or change a properties
file for a URL provider, validate the properties, and apply them to
your configuration.
Table 1. Actions
for URL provider properties files. You can create, modify,
and delete URL provider configuration properties.
Action |
Procedure |
create |
Set properties and then run the applyConfigProperties command. |
modify |
Edit properties and then run the applyConfigProperties command. |
delete |
Uncomment #DELETE=true and
run the deleteConfigProperties command. |
Optionally, you can use interactive mode with the commands:
AdminTask.command_name('-interactive')
Procedure
- Create a URL provider and its properties.
- Create a properties file for a URLProvider object.
Open an editor and create a URL provider properties file.
You can copy an example properties file in this step into an editor
and modify the properties as needed for your situation.
An example properties file for a URLProvider object named myProvider at
cell scope follows:
#
# Header
#
ResourceType=URLProvider
ImplementingResourceType=URLProvider
ResourceId=Cell=!{cellName}:URLProvider=myProvider
#DELETE=true
#
#
#Properties
#
streamHandlerClassName=unused
classpath={}
name=myProvider
nativepath={}
description=null
providerType=null #readonly
protocol=unused

#Environment Variables
cellName=WASCell06
- Run the applyConfigProperties command
to create a URL provider configuration.
Running the applyConfigProperties command
applies the properties file to the configuration. In this Jython example,
the optional -reportFileName parameter produces a
report named report.txt:
AdminTask.applyConfigProperties(['-propertiesFileName myObjectType.props -reportFileName report.txt'])
- Modify an existing URL provider.
- Obtain a properties file for the URL provider that you
want to change.
You can extract a properties file for
a URLProvider object using the extractConfigProperties command.
- Open the properties file in an editor and change the
properties as needed.
Ensure that the environment variables
in the properties file match your system.
- Run the applyConfigProperties command
to change a URL provider configuration.
- If you no longer need a URL provider, you can delete the
entire URL provider object.
To delete the entire object,
specify DELETE=true in the header section of the
properties file and run the deleteConfigProperties command;
for example:
AdminTask.deleteConfigProperties('[-propertiesFileName myObjectType.props -reportFileName report.txt]')
Results
You can use the properties file to configure and manage
the URL provider object.
What to do next
Save the changes to your configuration.
